[OpenMap Users] saving filled polygons to shapfiles

 Again experimenting with ExampleApplication.java to
create shaded polygons with OM and saving them to
shapefiles. This time the filled polygon is drawn to
the EsriLayer correctly and displayed/painted
correctly. I can save this layer to shapefiles using
the code below:

  File file = fileChooser.getSelectedFile();
  String path = file.getCanonicalPath();
  EsriGraphicList list = layer.getEsriGraphicList();
  ShpOutputStream pos = new ShpOutputStream(
                                  new
FileOutputStream(path + ".shp"));
  int[][] indexData = pos.writeGeometry(list);

   ShxOutputStream xos = new ShxOutputStream(
                                 new
FileOutputStream(path + ".shx"));
   xos.writeIndex(indexData, list.getType(),
list.getExtents());

   DbfOutputStream dos = new DbfOutputStream(
                                 new
FileOutputStream(path + ".dbf"));
   dos.writeModel(layer.getModel());

PROBLEM is that when I re-read these shapefiles I only
get polygon outline but the filled in color is not
showing up. Where are the filled in properties of the
polygon saved to? Shouldn't fill-in descriptions be
also saved into the shapefiles or is this a
properties file responsability?

I've have searchd the FM to no avail.
